“This is the end of my decade in VR,” Carmack’s internal post to employees in Meta starts, before he admits to having “mixed feelings.” The post, publicly released following an initial leak, a way for Carmack to say goodbye to others in the company, goes on to criticize significant issues for Meta’s development of VR headsets, as well as its metaverse ambitions.
